Example of Toe Injury Settlement Amounts in Florida

Case 1: $100,000 Settlement for a Toe Injury

One of our clients, a 19-year-old woman, was riding her electric scooter across 54th Ave. South in St. Petersburg, FL, when a driver in a Honda HRV made a left turn without yielding and struck her. The impact threw her onto the car’s hood and then onto the pavement.

She suffered multiple injuries, including a facial fracture, abrasions, a partial ACL tear in her knee, two herniated discs in her back, and notably, a laceration to her right big toe. This toe injury, along with her other serious medical concerns, led to ambulance transport, hospital treatment, and follow-up care that included MRIs and specialist visits.

We built a detailed case highlighting how these injuries, including the toe laceration, affected her daily life. The result: a settlement for the full $100,000 policy limit. We also worked to reduce her medical bills by half, allowing her to keep more of her compensation. This case shows how toe injury settlement amounts can contribute to a much larger overall payout when combined with other significant injuries.

Case 2: $25,000 Toe Injury Settlement

Our elderly client suffered a broken toe due to a hotel’s negligence. While using the bathroom in her room, a sink pipe suddenly burst, spraying water across the floor. As water pooled around her feet, she lost her balance and fell onto the hard floor. She also struck her elbow and shoulder, injured her hip and knee, and suffered a concussion.

Our firm filed a lawsuit, alleging that the hotel negligently maintained the bathroom pipes, which caused our client’s injuries. The hotel initially demanded she drop the case, citing a prior release of liability she had signed, but our client refused. We made an initial demand of $65,000. The defense responded with only $2,500, arguing her medical bills were minimal and she had no ongoing treatment.

We continued to advocate aggressively, making a subsequent demand of $57,500. The defense countered with $5,000. After filing a written proposal for $25,000, the hotel offered $17,000. Our firm rejected that and pushed the insurance company to pay the full $25,000. Ultimately, the defendant agreed, and the case was resolved. Our client was very pleased with the outcome, which provided her with needed compensation for her injuries.

Case 3: $163,000 Settlement for a Broken Toe Injury

Our client was traveling northbound on Westshore Blvd. in the right lane when he entered the intersection at Kennedy Blvd. with a solid green light. At the same time, another driver ran a red light and pulled directly in front of him. With only a split second to react, our client tried to brake but could not avoid the collision. His vehicle struck the passenger side of the other car at about 35 miles per hour.

The impact left our client with painful injuries to his neck and left foot, including a broken toe. He required extensive medical care and treatment for these injuries. After collecting medical records and bills, we made a demand for the defendant’s policy limits of $250,000. The insurance company refused to pay fair value, instead offering only $54,500, then $55,000, and finally $65,000. Each lowball offer was rejected, and our firm filed a lawsuit against both the driver and the vehicle’s owner, the driver’s father.

As the case moved forward, depositions reinforced the strong liability against the defendants and confirmed that our client’s injuries were directly caused by the crash. The case went to a mediation conference, but the insurance company still refused to make a fair offer. Shortly afterward, the defense increased their offer to $120,000, which was rejected as still below the true value.

A second mediation was held as the case approached trial. At that conference, we continued to press for fair compensation, and the defendants finally agreed to pay $168,000 to settle the case. This resolution was more than three times the initial offer, and our client was very pleased to receive fair compensation for the injuries he endured.

Case 4: $150,000 Settlement Example for a Broken Toe Injury

Our client was leaving a Zaxby’s restaurant in Pasco County, Florida. His vehicle was parked in a handicap space directly in front of the restaurant. As he stepped off the sidewalk curb and walked toward his car, his right foot caught on a parking bumper stop that was not painted yellow or blue, making it difficult to see. He tripped and fell forward, striking the ground on his right side. The fall caused soft tissue injuries to his neck and back as well as a broken toe.

Another customer, who worked for Pasco County Code Enforcement, witnessed the fall and helped our client to his feet. The incident was promptly reported to Zaxby’s management. The area lacked warning signs or proper markings to alert patrons to the hazard. Our firm hired a slip and fall expert to inspect the scene and provide a report on code violations.

Following the fall, our client received limited treatment for aggravation of a prior low back injury and for his broken toe. Zaxby’s initially denied the claim. After discovery, we found a document in which a restaurant employee admitted that if the parking stop had been painted blue, our client might have avoided the fall. Zaxby’s then made a low offer of $1,500 to cover medical expenses, which we immediately rejected. After aggressive negotiations, Zaxby’s agreed to pay $15,000 to settle the case, providing our client with fair compensation despite the limited treatment and some uncertainty about liability.
